Eight teams and 52 pupils will take part in the Kilkishen N.S. Senior Soccer League. A draw took place on Thursday March 7 to select our 8 teams and group fixtures. There will be two groups of 4 teams which will be run in a round robin format with each team playing each other in 20 minute games. The finals day will see teams qualify based on their position in each group table. Each win will earn 3 points, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss. Each match will have 1 bonus point on offer for the team using the most Irish during the game. Top teams in both groups will play in the cup final. Second in each group will play in the cup runner-up match. Third in each group will play-off for the shield final and fourth place in both groups will play-off for the shield runner-up prize. Looking forward to starting the league once our Astro-Turf reopens. Best of luck to all taking part. The children in 4th and 5th Class really enjoyed getting into character for World Book Day. They all looked fantastic and we did lots of fun activities such as Character Description worksheets, World Book Day Bingo, a World Book Day Quiz and of course we did the Bog Walk to show off all their creative costumes. Congratulations to Erin Kennedy for achieving a reading millionaire award using the online reading programme Accelerated Reader. Erin is the second reading millionaire to receive this award in 2024. Congratulations Erin from everyone at Kilkishen N.S.
Congratulations to our Pupil of the Week award winners. Each week pupils are asked to remember 3 important rules: 1. Show Respect 2. Do Your Best and 3. Complete Homework. In each classroom pupils that manage to demonstrate these on a daily basis are in the running for special weekly awards announced every Monday. Well done to all our award winners from Ms. Fawl, Ms. Whitney, Mr. Keane and Mr. Walsh's classes. Best of luck to everyone this week. For the first time ever in Kilkishen N.S. history, our boys basketball team qualified for the Round 2 stages of the Marion Keane memorial primary school basketball tournament held at Gurteen G.A.A. hall on Monday March 4. Kilkishen were grouped with Ballyea N.S., Holy Family N.S. Ennis and Gaelscoil Mhíchíl Cíosóg Inis. Kilkishen boys played 3 very keenly contested games against all three schools with Gaelscoil Mhíchíl Inis emerging as overall winners. Congratulations to all our 6th class boys on their magnificent achievement on making it to the knockout stages. 5th and 6th class have been enjoying the online Mathletics program. Some students have earned bronze certificates. Pupils can log in at school or at home to earn 1000 points per week and a certificate. |
